iLok Question

[slinky005]

Just Purchased CL.
Waiting for the license email.
I am using a Win Vista machine for my Axe.
According to the specs, it will work in Vista.
What about my iLok?
Do I need the license manager for any reason? This will not run on a vista machine.
Is this only relevant if I want to move my license from one computer to another?

Wow, I can see tumbleweeds in the Cablab section.
Anybody there...there...there.....

The iLok License Manager is required for activation.

This process is very foreign to me.
I've never had a license running in the background online in order to use a program.
Is that how it works? Launch the license manager and then CabLab and good to go?

An internet connection is only needed one time to activate the Cab-Lab license via the iLok License Manager. The activation process will save the Cab-Lab license(s) locally on your computer or onto an iLok2 dongle. When the activation process is complete an internet connection will no longer be needed. However, the iLok License Manager will need to run on your computer in order for Cab-Lab to verify that a validate license exists.

"The software requires you to install a newer version of the License Support software in order to activate any licenses."
I guess using CL on my vista machine is no go?

Gave up on the Vista machine - not going to happen with Cablab.
For those who install and are as confused as I was - you need to run the ilok manager before you launch CL.
I am now using it on my Mac.
